Estamos en pleno verano y es momento de excesos derivados de comer m\u00e1s veces fuera y dejarnos llevar por los d\u00edas de tapas y los helados.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo siempre debeos cuidarnos, independientemente de la \u00e9poca del a\u00f1o; as\u00ed que hoy republicamos este art\u00edculo del Dr. Jorge P\u00e9rez Carracedo<\/a> sobre qu\u00e9 es y para qu\u00e9 sirve el colesterol.
\n<\/p>\n

El colesterol es una mol\u00e9cula de grasa<\/strong> <\/span>(l\u00edpido) que est\u00e1 presente en todas las c\u00e9lulas de nuestro organismo resultando primordial y b\u00e1sico para su funcionamiento. Las personas que tienen unos niveles del colesterol en sangre por debajo de determinado l\u00edmite<\/span>, van a tener m\u00e1s posibilidades de enfermar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

S\u00f3lamente las <\/span>c\u00e9lulas del h\u00edgado<\/span><\/strong> (hepatocitos) son capaces de metabolizar y eliminar de manera eficiente el colesterol sobrante del organismo.<\/span><\/p>\n

A trav\u00e9s de la sangre, y transportado por las lipoprote\u00ednas de alta densidad (HDL)<\/span><\/strong>, el colesterol llega al h\u00edgado para que \u00e9ste filtre el sobrante y lo env\u00ede al \u201cbasurero\u201d para su eliminaci\u00f3n, evitando as\u00ed que se pegue a las paredes de nuestras arterias. \u00c9ste ser\u00eda el colesterol bueno.<\/p>\n

Por otro lado, el exceso de colesterol que procede de nuestra dieta, va a producir un aumento en la cantidad de colesterol que tenemos en la sangre, en especial, del colesterol que circula unido a las lipoproteinas de baja densidad (LDL)<\/span><\/strong>, el llamado colesterol malo.<\/h3>\n

Una de las funciones de los f\u00e1rmacos que denominamos ESTATINAS<\/span> \u2013que son recetadas por los m\u00e9dicos cuando las cifras de colesterol en sangre est\u00e1n elevadas- es, precisamente, elevar el n\u00famero de receptores de las lipoprote\u00ednas de alta densidad para que, de esta manera, \u201cel basurero\u201d disponga de mayor n\u00famero de camiones.<\/p>\n

El colesterol malo (LDL), es el m\u00e1s susceptible de depositarse en las paredes de las arterias formando placas. Cuando el dep\u00f3sito de colesterol en nuestras arterias es lo suficientemente alto, puede producirse un accidente vascular<\/span><\/strong> (angina de pecho, accidente vascular cerebral, infarto de miocardio o arteriopat\u00eda perif\u00e9rica). Si la placa se desprende de forma brusca en una arteria podr\u00eda causar un infarto de miocardio agudo.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

La conclusi\u00f3n de todo lo dicho hasta ahora ser\u00eda que el colesterol es nuestro gran amigo cuando lo \u201ctenemos a raya\u201d pero, se convierte en nuestro gran enemigo cuando permitimos \u201cque campe a sus anchas\u201d.<\/p>\n

La prevenci\u00f3n es primordial<\/span> en cualquier tipo de patolog\u00eda y esencialmente importante cuando se trata de colesterol, debido a las fatales consecuencias que puede acarrear su exceso. <\/span><\/h3>\n

Debemos cuidarnos con ejercicio moderado regular y una dieta baja en grasas<\/a>. Simplificando, y como regla general, debemos de ingerir diariamente unos 300 miligramos de colesterol como m\u00e1ximo<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuide de lo m\u00e1s valioso que tiene (su salud) acudiendo regularmente a su m\u00e9dico para realizarse revisiones rutinarias. Muchas patolog\u00edas desaparecen sin consecuencias debido a una detecci\u00f3n precoz. Inf\u00f3rmese sobre nuestros chequeos m\u00e9dicos<\/a> e invierta en lo que en realidad importa.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
